SOIL-DAMPNESS AS A CAUSE
OF DISEASE.
There seems no longer to be any
doubt that one of our most dreaded
Pand fatal diseases is caused by soil
dampness. If a damp soil be not
the cause, it is certainly one Vf
the conditions most favorable to
the development of pulmonar
consumption. Two things have
unquestionably been proved in this
condition ; first, that consumption
is most prevalent on damp soils,
and secondly, that the removal of
this dampness by efficient sub-soil
drainage causes a rapid diminution
in the death-rate from consumption
-in localities where this improve
Ment has been made. Let us look
at some of the facts which have led
-o these conclusions.
In 1862 Dr. Bowditch, of Bo
ton, the pioneer in these investiga
tions, obtained statements from the
resident physicians of 183 towns in
Massachusetts,which led him to con
sider it as highly probably though
not absolutely proved, that soil
dampness held a causative relation
to pulmonary consumption. He
foreshadowed "the existence of a
aw having for its central idea that
dampness of the soil in any locali
ty is intimately connected, and
probably as cause and effect, with
the prevalence of consumption in
that town."
What~ Dr. Bowditch rendered
probable by these investigations,
Dr..Buchanan, of England, in his
capacity of health inspector, seems
to have rendered certain by his.
He found that in towns where im
provements had been made in this
respect, the mortality from con
sumption had greatly decreased;
the extent of the diminution cor
responding to the extent of the dry
ing of the sub-soil.
"In Salisbury, for example, the
death-rate from phthisis (consamr
tion) has fallen 49 per cent.; in
Ely 47; in Rugby 43; in Banbury
45; and in thirteen other towns
-> the rate of diminution, though not
so marked was nevertheless note
worthy.".
The following general conclu
sions are given by Dr. Buchanan,
as the result of his inquiry:
"First. Within the counties of
* Surry, Kent, and Sussex, there is,
broadly speaking, less phthisis
among populations living on im
perv-ious soils.
"Second. Within the same coun
tiee there is less phthisis among
populations living on high-lying
pervious :soils than among popula
tions living on low-lying pervious
soils.
"Third. Within the same coun
ties there is less phthisis among
populations living on sloping im
-- pervious soils than among popula
tions living on flat impervious soils.
"Fourth. The connection be
tween soil and phthisis has been
established by this inquiry, first, by
the existence of general agreement
in phthisis morality in districts
* that have common geological *and
topographical features of a nature
to affect the water-holding quality
of the soil. Second, by the exist
ence of general disagreement be
tween districts that are differently
circumstanced in regard of such
features; and third, by the dis
covery of pretty regular concomi
tancy in the fluctuations.of the two
conditions, from much phthisis
with much wetness of the soil, to
litfie phthisis with little wetness of
the soil. "The foregoing conclu
sions combine into one : that wet
ness of soil is a cause of phthisis, to
the people living upon it."
Some investigators believe that
soii-damnness is the cause of many
other diseases. Dr. Bell iu his
report on the drainage of Kings

water logged either wholly or it
part, to drain such territory of itc
surplus water.
-By surplus water is meant thai
which is not held in the soil by ca
pillary attraction; all that watei
which would run away from a quan
tity of earth placed in a barrel
with holes in the bottom. Suc
drainage can easily be accomplish.
ed. Unglazed tiling with joint.
carefully protected, laid at a depth
of three or four feet, with propez
inclination, and at suitable dis
tance, will drain any soil, however
wet, in less than twenty-four hours.
To ascertain whether a given lo
cality requires draining, let an ex
cavation be made to the depth oi
three feet, and if water is found in
it twenty-four hours after the
heaviest rain, the locality is unfit
for human habitation.
The ill-effects of a damp soil are not
confined to those imediately living
upon it, but extend to a considerable
distance; so that every inhabitant,
whether his own be wet or dry, should
concern himself in this matter. It is
preeminently a subject of general in.
terests.
The evils resulting from a water log.
ged soil rapidly increase with an in.
creasing population, and at the same
time the difficulties of drainage be
cone greatly increased when a place
comes thickly settled. In fact it is
almost impossible in many cases, after
grades are established, and permanent
improvements made, to accomplish,
even at a great expense, what in the
early history of a place could be little.
It is also important that the water
falling upon the roofs of houses should
be promptly conducted away, and not
allowed to saturate the soil around the
foundations, and find its way into cel
lars.
Shade trees should be disposed
about dwellings as not to interfere with
the rapid drying of the surface of the
ground. Where trees and- shrubbery
are massed together indiscriminate,
and cover large areas, they shut out
the sun's rays, and offer such obstacles
to the circulation of the air as to ren
der them in many cases a source of
unhealthfulness; especially is this the
case when they are planted in close
proximity to dwellings. Trees should
be arranged in groups, with ample space
between ; and shrubs, instead of be
inig planted under the trees, should al
so be arranged in groups by them
selves, and should cover but a small
proportion of the grounds.
Could these suggestions be acted
on, there is no doubt that in many
places the list of mortality would be
greatly decreased. It is evident, how
ever, that the thorough drainage of a
place must generally be accomplished
as a public measure, and cannot be
left to individual enterprise alone.
Laws should be passed rendering it
obligatory on local authorities, to car
ry into effect such general ieasures
as will render it possible for every
one to draiai his land and make it ille
gal to erect dwellings on water-logged
territory. A system of thorough in
spection should be instituted in every
place, and houses constructed without
due regard to sanitary consideration
should be advertised as unhealthy.
It is very important for practical
sanitary reformers to arouse public in
terest and create a public opinion.
Without doing this, they will be
impeded and perhaps thwarted at al
most every step of their wor'k by the
selfishness of unenlightened private
interest. But in the face of a public
opinion such as knowledge of the
facts is sure to develop, the most bi
goted obstructionist will be unable to
hold his ground, and most property
owners will become active favorers of
reform. In many communities it
would serve an excellent purpose if a
health association could be organized,
and as many intelligent citizens as
possible be induced to join it. Such
an association might take as its work
the diffusion of knowledge on this class
of subjects, both among its own mem
bers and the community at large; the
securing of necessary legislation; and
active co-operation throughi its officers
with the public authorities in giving
effect to such legislation. A great
field of use[ulness lies in this direction,
and in a rapidly growing country like
ours no time should be lost in attend
ing~ to it .-,T. W. PINKHAM, M. D.,

TURNIPS AND CoRN.-A West
chester County (N. Y.) farmer is
in the habit of sowing yellow Aber
deen turnips among his corn at
the last passage of the cultivator,
when the plants are about five feet
in height. The turnips do not
make much growth until the corn
is cut, after which they swell rapid
ly. The cost is nothing except
for seed and harvesting, and corn,
being already cut, is not injured

HOW TO GET SLEEP.
THE BEST TIME AND EASTEST WAY '
WOO MORPHEUS.
Mr. Frank Buckland, in his "Essa
in Land and Water," says: We rea
of Bismarck that "his old foe. insomni
still tenaciously clings to him. I
passes wholenights waking. At morr
ing dawn, slumber, if not sleep, come
at last, but day finds him weary an
unfit for work, yet with mountains (
work to get through." Having pai
considerable attention to this impor
ant question of being able to procu
sleep, I venture to record what
know about it.
The human frame cannot do witi
out sleep. I believe the reason is th
the mysterious property-for want <
a better name we call it "vitalenergy
-gradually leaks out during the daj
During sleep the machinery of tlb
body, especially the brain, becomt
recharged with it. The cause of nc
being able to sleep-I write now <
people in good health and hard worl
ers with their brains-is that th
brain cannot, so to speak, "go down,
but continues to act more or less. M
father, when writing the "Bridgepm
Treatise," had his own way of wor
ing. He was an excessively bus
man during the day, and had only th
night hours in which he could write
He generally dined at 7 o'clock, an
immediately after dinner went to slee
for two or three hours. He then gc
up and worked on until 2 or 3 o'cloe
in the morning. Just before retirin
he took some light pudding or a sand
witch, with cocoa or milk. Thus h
always slept well, as the blood was d
verted from the brain to the stomac
I have no hesitation in saying tha
the proper thing to do is to go t
sleep immediately (or at least ver
soon) after the meal of the day. A
animals always go to sleep, if the
are not disturbed, after eating. Thi
is especially noticeable in dogs; at
the great John Hunter showed by a
experiment that digestion went o
during sleep more than when the ani
nmal was awake and going about. Thi
is his experiment, lie took two dog
and gave them both the same quantit
of food. One of them was the
allowed to go to sleep, the other wa
taken out hunting. At the end c
three or four hours he killed bot:
these dogs. The food in the stomac1
of the dog which had been asleep wa
quite digested; in that of the on
which had been hunting the food wa
not digested at all.
This fact, I think, shows the ad
visability of going to sleep immediate
ly after eating. This ignored fact al
ways occurs to my memory when
see old gentlemen nodding over thei
wine. Nature says to them "go ti
bed" They will not go to bed, bu
still nature will not allow her law t'
be broken, so she sends them to sleel
sitting in the chairs. People, therefore
who feel sleepy after dinner ought ti
dine late and go straight to bed when;
sleepy feeling comes over them.
Most good folks, however, do thi
worst possible thing imaginable; the:
retire altogether in the drawing-room
and then, to make matters worse, the;
drinig tea and coffee: Now, I re
gard tea and coffee, when taken a
night, to be poison to certain consti
tutions. . It is very well in the morn
ing, but is very bad at night. Thb
reason why tea and coffee should no
be taken at night is that the one con
tains an alkaloid called theine, aui
the other contains an alkaloid callei
caffeine. These two alkaloids take
into the systems stimulate the brain
and do not allow it to go to rest.
speak of this from experience. If I tak
thoughtlessly a cup of tea or coffee al
ten 5 o'clock in the evening, going ti
bed at 11, I cannot go to sleep; ani
if the brain does fall asleep, the alka
loid will wake it up in about an hou
or two. Sleeplessness, therefore, i
usually caused by tea or coffee, thougl:
strange to say, tea and coffee actuall;

this the muscular action of the lir
necessarily takes place, and sleep come

plan.
I once heard a midshipman wh
complained that he could not slee
at night because there were no wave

To this noisa he had so many month
been accustomed that he could not slee
